This thing has been around for ages and is just a variation of a similar one that was out back in the Public Beta days -- that was, what, over two years ago?
I only posted it as i never seen it untill today and that to a point it is true to this day....for those that have seen it (by the looks of it everyone) i'm sorry...didn't know. Just trying to post something funny....i guess i need to find me a new monkey to post my jokes
I don't think this joke is fair anymore, at least from my experience.
My system ALWAYS wakes from sleep. I hardly ever see the spinning beach ball.
I use stickies like a nut and the database has never deleted itself.
iTunes NEVER uses more than 20% of my CPU (Even Camino uses more CPU).
The snappiness thing is still true. Every new update seems faster, but still just short of what I would call truely snappy.
The genie effect, drop shadows and translucent menus do not slow my machine down. There are no delays or stuttering like there was in 10.1.
Most of my applications launch in one to two bounces. Large programs like Word do take longer, so I guess this can be improved.
Debug code is not responsible for OS X's speed problems. It presence or absence has no perceivable effect on performance.
If OS X gives a mere 20% of your CPU time to user processes, it means your not doing anything which requires the other 80%. I rarely use more than 50% the CPU, myself thanks to OS X's excellent resource management.
Since we're here, I would just like to say that I am on my second day with my iMac (17") and on the day to day stuff:- Writing letters, launching apps, switching from one to the other and playing mp3's / videos in the packground (I watch some of those seminars from ADC TV) this "Relatively low 1Ghz" iMac is knocking 10 bells of shi** (make that 10 bells of multi-coloured shi**) out of my 2.8 Ghz P4 running win XP.

See, this has always confused me. If it has 80% CPU unused, then how come it's not snappy? I'm serious - watch the CPU Monitor when resizing a window, and see that it is not smooth, yet the CPU(s) isn't maxed out.

Smooth here. Pegs my CPU to about 50%. No stuttering. My snappiness complaints really have to do with application loading and opening folders with large amounts of files.

Say..
"Disable FTP-write access"
"Adobe app snappiness"
etc.

Ah, but even if you could activate it, you would still need to log in a sjobs.
The password must be something tricky and clever. Like 12345...
